When driving on highways in winter, simply use the auto function. The auto function will activate the AC and adjust it based on temperature. The car air conditioning system is designed to regulate and control the temperature, humidity, air cleanliness, and airflow inside the vehicle cabin to optimal levels. It provides a comfortable environment for passengers, reduces travel fatigue, and creates favorable working conditions for the driver, playing a crucial role in ensuring safe driving. The car air conditioning system generally includes a cooling device, heating device, and ventilation device. This integrated system makes full use of the limited space inside the car, features a simple structure, and is easy to operate, making it a popular modern car air conditioning system internationally.

In winter, I pay special attention to safety when driving on highways to avoid window fogging that could impair visibility. Before starting the car, I let it warm up for a few minutes to get the air conditioning system running. Once inside, I immediately switch to external air circulation mode to allow fresh air into the cabin, reducing fog formation. I set the temperature around 20 degrees Celsius with moderate fan speed to maintain a comfortable driving environment. On highways, the high speed and significant temperature difference between inside and outside can easily cause fogging, so I switch to internal air circulation every half hour to balance humidity. I also check if the air filter is clean to prevent dust from affecting performance. For long drives, I keep defogging tools handy for emergencies. These habits ensure clear visibility throughout my journey and safe arrival at my destination, especially helpful in bad weather conditions.

What suspension does the new Weiling use?

The new Weiling uses a MacPherson independent suspension for the front, which is a common independent suspension in cars. It has only one L-shaped control arm, is compact, and occupies little space, so it is widely used in many front-wheel-drive cars with transversely mounted engines. The rear suspension is a torsion beam non-independent suspension, consisting of a crossbeam and two longitudinal arms, which also occupies minimal space under the chassis, thereby expanding the rear seating and trunk space. The new Weiling is a compact car and Volkswagen's first A-class crossover station wagon, combining the attributes of a sedan, station wagon, and SUV. It not only offers the comfortable handling of a sedan but also the large, easy-to-load space of a station wagon and the off-road capability similar to an SUV.

What does OBD stand for in cars?

OBD in cars stands for On-Board Diagnostics, a system that continuously monitors the engine's operating conditions to check if the vehicle's emissions exceed standards, and immediately issues a warning if they do. When a system malfunction occurs, the malfunction indicator lamp or check engine warning light will illuminate, while the powertrain control module stores the fault information in memory. The fault codes can be read from the PCM through a specific procedure. Based on the fault codes, maintenance personnel can quickly determine the nature and location of the fault. The OBD interface is generally a 16-pin female connector, trapezoidal in shape. Some vehicle models have a protective cover over the OBD port, and common OBD interfaces are black, white, or blue.
